Derrick White Funds Buffaloes Future

Derrick White, NBA guard and now president of basketball strategy for the Colorado Buffaloes, is pouring his own $2 million into the program — on top of an existing $2 million NIL boost — to stabilize and rebuild after a brutal roster shake-up. With key players lost from the 2025 class, the Buffs used their NIL funds to bring in experienced transfers like David Gomez, Noah Feddersen, and standout rebounder Justin Neely. White’s direct involvement means his money won’t just sit idle — he’ll scout, develop, and help shape the next generation, especially with star guard Barrington Hargress set to graduate. If they keep their current roster intact, White’s investment could turn young talent into future stars and position Colorado for a strong 2026 season.
